C-Note

C-Note

"C-Note" is a steel sculpture by artist Kevin Caron that was installed in May 2012. Caron's love of sound takes new shape in this steel chime sculpture, created in 2008. The artwork has a melodic sound when chimed. The bell hanging from the top of the sculpture produces music, activated by a light breeze. Departing from the traditional cylinder shape, Caron’s bell is composed of a steel disk. Rather than use the traditional pendulum shape for the bell’s clapper, Caron created a ball-and-spring contraption attached to the underside of the disk. Caron has said, "In my work, I seek out illusion in contour and its capacity, treating unusual intersections as purposeful composition." He has created over fifty sculptures on display across the Valley, and was chosen as Visual Artist of the Year at the 2018 Phoenix Mayor’s Arts Awards. He primarily works with fabricated steel, and uses a large 3D printer to complete his works. This piece can be found at the northwest corner of Arizona Avenue and Buffalo Street, near Dr. A.J. Chandler Park.
